WICHITA THE PREFERENCE.

Kansas City and Wichita are each
anxious to become the center of the great
sugar industry which both cities think VIII
develop In Kansas The idea Is, and 1t Is
most likely correct, that the sugar from
the mills viii have to be shipped to some
central point, where large refneries are
built and there placed In q marketable con
dition. The city that can secure the bulk
Of this business, If sugar making from
sorghum proves success, win have gained
a point In commercial supremacy. OF
course we would like to see that as near
home as possible, and for that reason
would prefer Wichita to Kansas City.
Those who have investigated the
subject most thoroughly seem to have the
most confidence In successful sugar pro.
duction in Kansas, and these men are
already taking steps to have their respective
cities reap the benefits Of being the great
central points for refining and distributing
the product.-Norwich News.
There is no longer need for Kansas to
contribute of her wealth of products to
further enrich a foreign community.
Wichita can and will take care Of the sugar
interests as she will the liye stock and other
great interests In Kansas and the southwest.

The Peabody Gazette gives this sensible
advice to the man who has not sufficient
stamina to hold political conviction as to
the respective merits of the two parties:
'The man who says he doesn't care how the
election goes is either an Ananias or lack
ing In some other quality of good citizen
ship. Every man should be interested
enough in good government to care very
much that proper men fill the public
offices and just to the extent that this duty
Is neglected by the citizens, does he neglect
to perform the highest and most important
function of the good citizen. Such men
compose the Republican ticket for district
and county offices, and no citizen can have
valid excuse for failure to support them
at the polls.

We have entered upon month of the
ripeness of the harvest. November is
what one might call the autumnal 18TH
mus, the dividing line between the glories
of summer and the grim, white scenes of
winter. 1t is the season, too of the an
nual thanksgiving for the good things
that have been showered upon us by the
Great Provider; and truly a bountiful
table has been spread during the past
year for which we ought TO be grateful.
Our harvests have been golden. Our
crops have been big enough to feed the
world and yet leave crumbs to spare.

The Republicans of Sedgwick county will

then-and . it ;cannot be gainsaid-the
only matter Of concern to the citizen Is
that no mistake be made in the selection
of proper persons to fill the various offices.
That the gentlemen composing the Re

faithful, efficient discharge of the respon-

institutions to welcome with open arms

liberty into license. or TO confer the right
of citizenship upon those who would

If they come 10 populate. our territory,

laborer, they become a constant menace

John Dold's proposition is for Wichita
to give him bonus Of $50, 900 and twenty.
three acres of land. He then won't bind
himself to do anything definite except to
pocket the big bonus. Even Phil Armour
or Fowler would come out and gobble up q
bonus of $4,000 If he could find the
suckers to give it.-Atchison News.
After the experience Atchison has had
with bonus beggsrs the foregoing screed is
not surprising. Wichita profits by such
experience on the part Of other places and
steers clear Of the breakers In these mat
tiers Wichita makes no mistakes. As for
Armour, Fowler, ct al, they Will not wait
for the offer of bonus from Wichita but
will be posting down this way shortly as a
matter of self defense. Business Is bust
ness. This is purely matter or business.
